[FRIAM] A thread for why did we first eat or drink that?

[Gillian Densmore]

While making lunch. I got curious about what might have gone through the
first people to not just eat, but keep eating peppery things. I'm sort of
picturing a conversation between to dudes where one decides "that thing
that just set my mouth on fire? yeah! let me have more!".

What on earth might have possessed humans to keep eating spicey foods? I
also wonder the samething about coffee. A hard green fruit seed that you
have to flambe to make edible or drinkable.
